    The tank hasn't started well since the trade deadline. It's bitter sweet. My brain says drop as far as we can, my heart enjoys watching this new team compete.

    The reality is its Chauncey's team now, and as a first year coach, ex-NBA champion there isn't a tank bone in his body.

    He's not playing Bledsoe, and regardless of what has been reported, I don't think he's significantly injured.

    I don't think we can catch the bottom 3 (Detroit, Orlando, or Houston)
    Maybe 4 and 5 Indiana and Houston
    Only two wins up on #6......
    Of course, we could get lucky with the so-called ping pong balls, but isn't that tougher than it used to be?

    If we starting winning on nights we don't play the tank really is in trouble.

    While logic says that the tank is better for our future I am really am beginning to wonder if Dame is rethinking sitting out.

    The Tank is back, but not for us! Come on Pels, tank it up! 538 says Pels will finish 8th from bottom.

    Careful. If they tank too hard they have a much much higher chance of getting into the top 4.

    8th or 9th from the bottom would be perfect. But now they are 7th and that gives them almost a 30% chance of landing in the top four with the ping pong balls.. That scares me.

    CJ is doing really well, hopefully he can help them win about two out of five games from here on out.

    Honestly you do not want NO to move any closer cause there odds of moving up into Top 3 increases meaning Portland get's JACK this year -- ideal spot is keep NO around 7 to 9 spot just to keep odds lower of a jump. Specially is Portland cannot tank like they should cause while it's been nice to see them win now after the break -- time to LOSE and lose like your a High School team playing Jordan's Bulls type losing -- LOL

    I never want to root for injuries but a couple key ankle sprains and such nothing real serious would not be the worst thing to happen to this team.
